Kenyans in Garissa and across the country seeking employment opportunities abroad have been urged to be vigilant during the process to avoid being conned, trafficked, exploited, or lured into dangerous conflict zones that endanger their lives.
Over the past few years, there has been a growing fear among parents and teachers in Garissa over increasing disappearances of children and youths in a suspected human trafficking syndicate in the county, where the perpetrators later demand ransom to release the victims.
According to reports, the syndicate smuggles children and youths out of the country through Sudan and all the way to Libya, where the victims are promised to be transported to Europe for better job opportunities.
